The Chicago Blackhawks are not good in 2024-25. But at this time last season, it seemed as if they had some legitimate hope.

Alex Ovechkin was held off the scoresheet for nearly 57 minutes in a 3-0 Washington Capitals win over the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night — but The Great Eight found a way to do what he does best just before the final buzzer. Ovechkin scored an empty net goal late in the third period — […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs dealt with Nick Robertson trade rumors all offseason long. Robertson even requested a trade early in the offseason ahead of NHL Free Agency.
